@Caleb Heimsoth After it became clear that Clayton had no intention of performing on his buyback agreement, I sold it on the open market at a huge loss in order to prevent continuing lawsuits from Marion County for health and safety violations. 

I did so because at the time to purchase the property was about half the cost of renting, and there were no STR regulations in Curry County or really beyond..I recognized early that the regulations that quickly developed to restrict my BNB business in Los Angeles were likely to reach other areas and by being ahead of the curve, could own a long term vacation rental, in a land I wanted to be anyway, before there were rules that would prevent that goal. 

Are there non-disclosure laws that prevent transaction coordinators from sharing information with other people?

Other groundsLandlord violates tenant’s privacy rights;Landlord wrongfully cuts off water, wastewater, gas or electric service; andLandlord wrongfully changes the locks or prevents tenant from being in the rental property.In all of these cases, it is important to read your lease agreement and negotiate any terms and conditions accordingly.

I'm more an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure kind of gal. 

Basically, I just don't know if the status as an illegal garden unit (the lack of ceiling height and zoning allowance) prevents me legally from using the space for anything at all. 

This is from the official Allure installation instructions: "Do not install permanent cabinets, vanities, etc. over allure as this will prevent allure from expanding and contracting."

I also don't know if there's a specific process we have to go through with the city for it to be recognized as a duplex down.Basically, I just don't know if the status as an illegal garden unit (the lack of ceiling height and correct zoning) prevents me legally from using the space for either of these ideas and legally, or if it's just dead space.
